Both Trump and Biden have said they will debate the other. This is good news for our democracy.

<<<WHAT ISSUE DO YOU MOST WANT TO HEAR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND PRESIDENT BIDEN DEBATE?>>> ([link removed] )

Hi John,

In case you missed it, President Biden announced on Howard Stern’s radio show that he’d be open to debating former President Trump in this year’s presidential race.

“I don't know when, but I am happy to debate him,” said President Biden, who had previously conditioned his participation on Trump obeying the rules of debate.

Former President Trump, for his part, shot back on his Truth Social platform, saying he’d debate Biden “anywhere, anytime.”

It’s an important development considering President Biden has been less available to the media than any of his recent predecessors and that former President Trump sat out the chance to debate his primary opponents last fall.

Regardless of which presidential candidate you prefer, we should all agree they owe it to the American people to stand before the nation and share their competing visions for where they want to take us in 2025 and beyond.

Ever since more than 60 million Americans tuned in to watch John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon participate in the first televised presidential debate in 1960, these debates have played a critical role in our democracy. They have often shifted perception of candidates and the votes of Americans.

Our country faces so many challenges right now, from our soaring debt and deficit to the crisis at our southern border and the looming threat of China. Without the spotlight of a presidential debate, we’d have no chance to see the two leading candidates exchange their views on these major problems. These issues are simply too important to only be litigated in a procession of 30-second attack ads.

Now more than ever the American people deserve to hear the two major party nominees engage in real, thoughtful debate. If Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. meets the polling threshold to qualify for the debates, he should be included, too. We need to know how each candidate will plan to lead us through the uncertain waters ahead.

The nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates has already set the schedule for this year’s debates. Round one is scheduled to take place on September 16 at Texas State University, but neither campaign has confirmed that President Biden or former President Trump will be in attendance.

Both candidates owe it to the American people to show up and No Labels will be mobilizing our community to ensure that they do.

Will President Biden and former President Trump keep their word and answer the call?
